'We' as in Vixie Cron? Yes, but I want to list it explicitly since
/etc/crontab is shipped by cron and I would not consider a replacement that
did not execute the scripts there (imagine a replacement that shipped an
empty /etc/crontab or did not ship one at all [1]). Notice that there's is
nothing preventing a cron replacement to handling those directories by itself
natively (i.e. without using /etc/crontab lines).

[1] Of course, if /etc/crontab were provided as a configuration file of a
different (standard) package this issue would be side-stepped.
